NCAA Football Rankings - 27 Oct

Two teams moved into the top 5 in this week's rankings after each posted a dominant win over a ranked opponent, with Notre Dame taking down undefeated Navy, and Oregon beating up on Illinois. Penn State joined the top 10 after a solid road win at Wisconsin, and undefeated Pittsburgh joined the top 25 with a 7-0 record, but the Panthers will face a ranked team for the first time all season next week, so we'll see if they can stay ranked. Here are my full current rankings:
